How I Met Your Mother co-creator Craig Thomas has collaborated with actor Josh Radnor for a podcast titled How We Made Your Mother. The trailer for the same was released on March 3, 2025.

Josh Radnor also addressed the show's popularity over the years, considering how the general public continued to find it. He claimed that he had not seen all the episodes of the series and continued:

"I'm a little bit mystified by the fervor it inspires in its fans, and I think I just wanted to revisit it with Craig all these years later and walk through it again with some older, wiser eyes with my friend and talk to other people and hear from fans."

How We Made Your Mother trailer: Josh Radnor and Craig Thomas reveal more details

As mentioned, a glimpse of Josh and Craig's new podcast is out now, and it starts with a voiceover of a few people who have watched the show, addressing the impact it left on their lives.

"He loves this because he loved the idea of meeting somebody and falling in love with them, who didn't have preconceived notions about Josh, who hadn't spent nine seasons watching Ted Mosby on How I Met Your Mother, and the blur and confusion between, 'Is Josh like that? Is Josh not like that?'"

Speaking up on the reasons for doing the podcast, Josh Radnor said that it would be "psychologically healthy" for him to revisit the show and added:

"I think that part of me doing this is just to almost call a truce with it and say like, 'All right, you've given me a lot. You've taken a lot from me. I don't want to be at odds with you, so let's just turn around and see.'"

The synopsis on the podcast's website stated that Josh Radnor and Craig Thomas would be joined by several guests, and they would discuss the themes featured on the show, such as "life, loss, and love."

The trailer for the podcast was launched through its newly launched YouTube channel, which has accumulated more than 3.55K subscribers so far.
